NOAA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced that they are seeking comments by Thursday, Jan. 20 on their intent to prepare a Monument Management Plan for the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument.
The 2011 notice of intent to draft the Plan is being updated to include information relating to the monument’s expansion in 2014 and to announce that NOAA and USFWS are co-leads in drafting the Plan. Upon completion of the Plan, new individual Comprehensive Conservation Plans (CCP’s) will be prepared and existing CCP’s for National Wildlife Refuges within the Monument will be revised as necessary.
